How can I get the wheels narrowed so they fit on the 190e without having to roll the fenders?

That 17x8.25 et28 is actually a pretty good size, just be careful with your tire choice, I'd vouch for a 215/40 for those 17's. On one of my cars I'm running wider, with more negative offset, at the nearly (mine's slightly taller) the same total diameter of a 215/40/17 with 16" and 225/45/16 tires. 8.5 et22 in front, 9 et21 in the rear. I do have the diy version of the amg fender spacer kit up front but no rolling or other fender modification.

Here's some info from willtheyfit, comparing mine and your front wheel setup, mine is orange, yours is green. This is assuming you use the 215/40/17 size I mentioned.

What's wrong with using the fender spacer kit? It's a subtle modification that don't really have any negative effects.

and absolutely necessary when running 16" or larger in widths of 8"+ even when ET's are close to congruent with stock ET's for narrower rims.

grab some 30mm delrin rod and make them to suit. the AMG spacer kit isn't big enough for the ET28's, you need to go about half as wide again. I think mine are something like 25-30mm and 20mm at the sill, or close to that.
